Out of all the
different types of magazines published, household magazines for women probably
reflect that period in time better than most other publications. With
their usual mix of household, fashion, advertising , letter and lifestyle pages
they offer a reflection of that time that few other publications can match.

Many of these
magazines had huge weekly sales. As they were usually viewed as
completely disposable magazines, the vast majority were simply thrown away after
being read. As a result, a small number of these type of magazines have
survived over the years.
